The Campaign For DA

8.19.2016

Trump apologized yesterday for being mean? What did he mean more: The hundreds of times he has verbally abused people (i.e. "Little" Rubio, "Crooked" Hillary, "Lyin'" Ted Cruz, "Low Energy" Jeb Bush, Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren) or the apology prompted by the last ditch effort to revitalize his campaign?

“Rude, nasty Mexicans! You shouldn’t be allowed to have kids!” -- a White Angry Male to a Boyd man (as described in Bud Kennedy's column today. This Facebook post by the man got Kennedy's attention).

Can your government keep a criminal file away from the public once it is closed? Randy Travis tried to keep his DWI video out of the public eye but an appeals court told him yesterday the Pubic Information Act in Texas requires that government turn it over. That's the same Public Information Act that the Montague County DA's office has used to tell the Messenger they can't have information they seek in a closed criminal investigation.

Bad Friday morning for mass transit in New Jersey:

Always remember that I sniffed out that Ryan Lochte lie before the mainstream media. Can I get a Pulitzer for that? Do I just send in an application or something?

The body of the SMU police officer who reportedly was swept into Turtle Creek has not been found.

The case of the deputy who shot himself in Round Rock has taken an interesting twist. An Austin columnist points out that the deputy was given and a "full honors" funeral when law enforcement likely knew he had killed himself. And, to make it worse, the deputy had made a bogus call before his suicide about intruders. Why? If it were believed that he was killed in the line of duty then his survivors would be entitled to benefits worth over $80,000.

The U.S. finishing first and second in the shot put but the winners didn't put their hands over their hearts during the national anthem. Where's the righteous indignation!!!???

No, Trump isn't trying to save a campaign in a country of such stupid people. He is simply wondering how many liberal fools will spend time questioning an apology. If ever apologies should be rendered...it would be the Clintons for their rape of decency in America, public service, bribes, the Clinton Foundation, the many women they abused, perjury, their lack of morals.....etc...

"Ok, we gave a country its money back that we had been holding for decades to help save American lives." - Or in less CYA terms, the Obama administration gave Iran $400 billion to release American hostages. And now they employ the Hillary Clinton "You gonna believe me or your lying eyes?" strategy by telling us a ransom's not a ransom.

The guy who thinks we should help everyone is wrong...he endangered his two little boys by confronting that idiot. With all the murdering idiots roaming our streets, he's lucky that guy didn't pull out a gun or knife on him. I say mind your own freaking business. If a person can't handle a having a flat tire shouldn't be driving..be prepared.

Barry doesn't seem to remember the fundamentalist revolution in Iran. The military arms deal was null and void after the Islamist over through the government. Don't forget that they also took our embassy staff hostage.

928 - My comment wasn't about Hillary. It was about the arrogance of an Obama administration that tells us up is down, black is white, and nothing is what it seems. Hillary's just the most prominent recent example.

Thank you Barry and Bud Kennedy for furthering these kind of stories about racism and such....these kind of stories are worthless and serve no purpose. I'm Mexican (South American actually, but I'm looked upon in as Mexican in the mean streets of Crowley), is there racism? yes, but 99% of the people I come across are nice, decent people, so why on God's green earth would I worry about these ignorant uninformed bigots? If you are thinking that you are doing me any favors, you are wrong, these stories serve no purpose whatsoever.

To those mentioning Reagan and hostages, a) First determine the facts of the story you're trying to tell; and b) Remember that Congress held several investigations and hearings about the matter. If you want to imply the situations are comparable, then pick up both ends of the stick.

Thank you for your insightful comment. I pretty much agree with everything you said except "these stories serve no purpose whatsoever".

Authors of these stories purposely demonize white people for a character trait possessed by all human beings: bigotry. They are only telling a half-truth because the whole story is not popular and doesn't attract as much attention.

If they're going to preach the truth, preach the whole truth. Many still consider it a lie to tell a half truth.

You state the short term feel good argument for this action while ignoring the obvious long term damaging effect of the practice of paying a ransom to terrorists. You also ignore that Obama and others in the administration lied about it until the public were "shown pictures". And if you are using the "no intent" defense, you are ignoring that they purchased and paid the ransom in multiple foreign currencies rather than US dollars because they knew the transaction was illegal and were trying to hide their tracks.

I almost signed off with "nice try", but that would be untrue and in this venue, the sarcasm might be missed.

You do realize that you are committing the same sin you accuse Wordy of, right?

You can never reply to statements of fact with a rebuttal, but rather attack the writer in a uniquely Alinsky-esq manner. Yes, I just invented a word, get over it.

"But Workkyle...sound of sniffles...he hurt my feelings because he said true things about the dreadful witch that is running for POTUS in my party!"

The differences between the sins of Trump and Clinton are that Trump owns his sins. Will freely admit to what he feels.

Clinton, on the other hand, will say or do anything to get elected. That is according to Obama. She had been on both sides of every issue, and lied about all of it. Then she lies about most things she did while SOS. Much of the world collapsed, while she tried on pantsuits.

See, the problem is, she has never done ANYTHING worthwhile in her sorry life, on her own. Then, she has never had a normal job. She has made millions of dollars solely off of the largess of the American people.

Trump has actually built and made things. Made the lives of vast numbers of people better for his efforts. Hilly cannot say that same. In fact, she has destroyed many lives.

The media has been in a frenzy about the Lochte lie. But why doesn't the media get in as much a frenzy about the Obama administration lying about the $400 million ransom. They lied about that! They and Hillary lied about Benghazi and Hillary lied about her email and server and she lied about being shot at in Bosnia. But Hillary and Obama get a pass from the media when they lie but Lochte doesn't. Not very consistent.

Trump's base is a bunch of angry old white guys. Angry because they see their power slipping away forever. Wordkyle is one of the angry old white men. And if you extol Trumps business acumen where does the bankruptcy cut off fall. Through his numerous bankruptcies he has left almost as many people devastated as he benefited.

"Rude, nasty (people of any/every race) shouldn't be allowed to have children."

Yep, I'm a bigot, I detest "rude, nasty (people of any/every race)." Which one of you special snowflakes truly enjoy the thought of "rude, nasty (people of any/every race)" being a part of your daily existence, much less those people reproducing?

As for Trump and Hillary, it's a choice between Evil and Crazy. However, Hillary has already betrayed the public's trust whereas Trump has yet to do so.

It's not the loss of power that the angry white man is upset about. It's the fact that the new leaders are not good leaders and the new power house will completely destroy our way of life here in America.

>Trump's base is a bunch of angry old white guys. Angry because they see their power slipping away forever.<

I am surely not for Trump. But I am an angry old white guy. Fact is, I am not paying taxes to the extent I have been. I do not have to anymore. See, your thought is a fallacy. Power is nothing. The only things real are family and standard of living...until you die of course.

Guys like me have worked half the year for nothing, for the last eight years. No more. Hitlery gets in, keeps the high taxes, forget about the economy. We are gone.

>And if you extol Trumps business acumen where does the bankruptcy cut off fall.<

Many guys have gone bankrupt, and still have done great things. The majority of new businesses fail. True character means you get back up, and try again. That you do not know that proves your socialist bent.

>Through his numerous bankruptcies he has left almost as many people devastated as he benefited.<

Horseshit. He has has dozens of successful businesses. Let's see your research that, "he has left almost as many people devastated as he benefited". Of course, you have none, because you are throwing out left wing bullshit. Which is one of the reasons I will probably have to bite the bullet and vote for Trump. You libtards are simply too corrupt. Public corruption.

Just another bunch of democrap lies. If what you say is true, nobody would do business with Trump. Since he has no trouble doing business, his bankruptcies of subsidiaries obviously have not hurt very many people.

If you bothered to do any actual research, that is what you would find.

So the appellate court upheld that Randy Travis has a common law right to privacy against people seeing him unclothed from the waist down, even though the video was taken in a public place, into which Randy Travis had placed himself in that state of being?

Most folks would say that he has no expectation of a right to privacy, at that point.
